Okay basic questions time before I get a bunch of anon asks

“Two of these are women.”

Father figures also count

“Some of these doesn’t have their own kids”

See point 1

“Why is there only a few characters from the same franchise going against each other but sometimes they aren’t”

Because I only recognized fire emblem, Pokémon, and JJBA at first.

“Aus doesn’t count”

As a previous undertale fan. I could care less. And I am not replacing Tim with BAMSE.

“Replace x with Bamse”

Sorry but. Findus and Skalman have already won. 3 times are a bit too much for us sweds.

“911 is copaganda”

You see Brooklyn 911 (picked by wheel) and you go against fireback mountain. Shame on you anon.

“Dad council these aren’t all random”

Yeah but Neon J vs Wubbox = chaos

Code of conduct

A Summary Post Trying to Explain All of my Stories and AU's (mostly the ones I've drawn)

The "Main-Line" Stuff

The Melancholy of Knife Nanami: A Prequel to Vib-Road CD and Legendroad about a girl named Knife Nanami going about her daily life as a struggling teenager with a bunch of problems in her life (such as having ADHD and Autism, troubles leaving her house, etc.), and her escapism world as a blue heeler puppy spy named Bandit Loid Heeler and his friends Lain, Nanami, Paintbrush, and Craphead. Heavily inspired by Serial Experiments Lain (PSX), HFJONE, OMORI, and a little bit of Fortnite.

Vib-Road CD: Sig Yashiha, a hikikomori boy that’s been stuck in his room for 2 years after his girlfriend went into a coma. Until one day, he finally comes out of his room, only to be targeted by a whole league built of only his old friends. Now he needs to defeat the league to live in peace and get his friends back to their normal selves. Heavily based off of Scott Pilgrim and OMORI (It’s kind of an AU in it itself).

Legendroad: An agent named Knife Hayashi (does not have any relation to Knife Nanami) gets tasked to find out where all the sudden cases of depression and hopelessness are coming from. Along the way, he meets a strange girl named Basil who is also trying to find the sudden stem of sadness, and eventually they team up together to stop the despair force. 

—---------------------------------------------------------------

The Misc. (AKA Doko Demo Issyo AU's)

KURO of ‘24 AU: Although this does sound like this would be a Class of ‘09 AU, this is actually a Melancholy of Knife Nanami swap AU. Everything like the plot and story beats are the same, but where the dreamworld takes place is different, as now instead of just taking place in a city, it’s now in a spy school that’s in the city. The swaps are as goes:

Knife Nanami → Toro Inoue

Bandit Heeler → Kuro

Lain Iwakura → R. Suzuki

Paintbrush → Pierre Yamamoto

Nanami → Jun Mihara

Sunflower → Ricky

Sig → Sora (Though would be appearing later in the story)

(As a little bit of a note, some characters that have a last name will keep them, with the exception of Toro, as he’s adopted by Knife’s parents. Characters that don’t have last names will be given the last name of the character they’re being swapped with [does that make sense? For example, Ricky would be Ricky Takara and Sora would be Sora Yashiha.] 

Kuro would be a slight exception, as he is to reference and be the “opposite” of Bandit. 

[Bandit Loid Heeler and Kuro Yor Neko])

(Another note for those who are wondering, the reason I swapped the main pokepi and not EVERYONE is because I’m scared of making them out of character [I haven’t played nor translated Toro and the Shooting Star and while I have watched Toro Let’s Party gameplay, I’m still not so confident about how in character they would be ;-;])

Melancholy Double Up AU: My favorite AU at the moment, as this is a crossover AU with everything in the main line series and the KURO of ‘24 AU. In this AU, Knife and Toro have grown up together, and they go through the same but slightly different plot and story beats, with the twist of course being the shenanigans that Knife and Toro/Bandit and Kuro can get into. 

Just a little bit of me rambling, but the reason why I love this AU is because of the endless possibilities of Knife and Toro’s relationship, since they can be similar at times plus Knife can act a bit like Kuro at times; AND with Toro being a little bit of a… hopeless romantic? I’m not sure, but the wiki does say he daydreams a lot about spending time with his special someone, so maybe this Toro thinks of Knife as that special someone. I don’t know, he just makes the mushy hopeless romantic in me go bonkers! 

(Notes: Characters like Toro Inoue (the famous one, as I like to call him), Kuro, and Bandit Heeler still exist in their respective franchises, it’ll just be a silly coincidence for Toro [the one with hair].)
